11Metering is fully supported, though it is recommended that changes to metering
12be avoided unless necessary to meet a specific need. Metering can sometimes lead
Hyunsun Moond1e87332022-02-18 15:07:20 -080013to counter-intuitive behavior, such as unexpected limitations in network performance.

15Description
16-----------
17
18Aether Supports three levels of QoS metering:
19
20* Per-Device-Per-Application. These meters apply to specific flows between devices
21 and applications. As a device may connect to many applications, it may have many
22 flows, and therefore many different meters may be specified. These meters are
23 configured in the Application page of the GUI.
24
25* Per-Device. These meters apply to the aggregate of all flows from a device,
26 regardless of the application the device is connecting to. These meters are
27 configured in the Device-Group page of the GUI.
28
29* Per-Slice. These meters apply to the aggregate of all flows from all devices to
30 all applications within the slice. These meters are configured in the Slice page of the GUI.

32These three levels of metering are depicted below:
